I'm not a betting fan,but I think Sky and RL miss a trick by not having a betting slot on match day - I would have thought it could open up a potentially new audience,if say Carney fronted a 3/4 min slot,covering say first try scorer,winning margin etcAnd it would be sponsored by one of the betting firms - just a thought.

Maybe they can't. After all it's during half time in footy when Ray Winstone pops up. Perhaps they can't encourage gambling, unlike our Aussie friends, who can't seem to function without betting on something.

Carney is no stranger to betting.

I remember the BBC TV build up to the 2005 RL Cup Final when Claire Balding interviewed him on the pitch prior to the game.

Balding....."Brian, if you were a betting man, who would your money be on this afternoon?"
